Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Dover Kosashvili” as film director, Screenwriter. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Dover, Kosashvili and film.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1966, 1998, 2001, 2003—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1966-12-08. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Dover, Kosashvili and film providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Dover Kosashvili”, the useful work is to connect “film director, Screenwriter” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2906571. VIAF identifies the subject as 51917053. The Library of Congress control number is no2002101326. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1966, 1998, 2001 and 2003.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
